NJW Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Just thought I'd post some pictures of my new 'swiss army knife'. I will post a full review later (perhaps tonight, I can't decide how sleepy I am). It's a Sandberg California PM, 4 string, with matt black burst finish on alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard. Active/Passive switchable, with 2 band EQ, blend + volume. It plays great and sounds great. Happy times. Quote
Darryll-Profane Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) I'm a big fan of the Delano pickups. Sure that will sound killer. Enjoy! Edit: Although they are sandberg branded?? Am I being thick? Edited December 14, 2007 by Darryll-Profane Quote
Machines Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Nice one NJW, I do like Sandberg - must give them more attention. Quote
thedontcarebear Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 I love my sandberg, I'm not a fan of P basses, but that does look very nice. Quote
99ster Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Damn I wish I hadn't seen that one... Oh I do like that - sweet. I can feel the GAS coming on bad... Quote
David Nimrod Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Very cool - and a zero fret? excellent Quote
Kiwi Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 I've seen the bloke in Orson playing one, if that counts for anything? Quote

7string Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Very cool looking and definately one of those basses which buyers should consider if they're after something p-style. Congrats on the new addition !! Quote
NJW Posted December 16, 2007 Author Posted December 16, 2007 My promised review will hopefully be up tonight - but after the intitial weekend of playing, it doesn't dissapoint! Quote
martthebass Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 That is so............ Glad I didn't see it before spending my last GAS cash. Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Lovely looking bass - I played one of the jazz bass versions with the humbucker at the bridge at Electro a while ago. Was very impressed with the sheer punch of the thing! Congrats Quote

simon1964 Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 That's very nice. I played one of these at PMT in Birmingham a few months back and was very very tempted. Quote
ergon Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 i like sandbergs alot, never played on one but they look so cool! Quote

Can anyone hint at the price of these? Is there a site with a variety of different colour combinations? Quote
paul, the Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 And what's the neck like? What's its closest comparison? Quote
